Xoom and honeycomb truly have the best battery life I have ever seen. I have been using mine for at least 15 hours straight and my batteries are still at 53% left. I've been using this extremely heavily with 3g on for like 10hrs and wifi for the rest of the time....gaming, web browsing, emailing, pulse reading, remote connection, and even some video!

According to my batteries,

Xoom been on batteries for 15hrs 24minites

Display 79% - 3hrs 57 min

Android OS 6% - 53 min

Tablet idle 3% - 12 min

Browser 2% - 18 min

Email 2% - 2min

Simply clock 2% - 10 min
[Xoom General] keitht:
Agreed. The battery life on this thing is amazing, way beyond what I expected.
[Xoom General] DarkDvr:
Been playing with it on and off all day at work, now, 13 hours later, I got 71%left. SICK.
[Xoom General] powercrazy:
I've been really happy with it too. Had it at work yesterday. I brought it to work at 90%. Connected my bluetooth headphones to it, streamed Pandora over wifi through the device to my headphones non-stop for 8 hours. Used it for checking personal mail and a little bit of browsing so the display was probably on for an hour of that time. Got home and the battery was at 65%. Excellent! :D
[Xoom General] ElephantGlue:
I feel like mine doesn't get nearly the battery life that you guys are talking about...using it constantly with the screen brightness turned all the way down it seems to be getting roughly 10 hours of continuous use on wifi.

Are you all rooted? I don't think that would matter but it seems as though im a little dissapointed in the battery life where everyone else is stunned. I had the screen off last night at around 50 % and this morning at around 11 it was at 11%.

Should I be worried?
[Xoom General] dudeimgeorge:
there should be multiple threads on this!

THE BATTERY LIFE IS INCREDIBLE!

14hrs and with that included

5hrs display on (over 75% brightness if not full)

1hr20minutes on google talk video!!!!!!!

(5minutes of wich i tethered my nexus s and used my 3g rather than wifi..which by the way was both just amazing) seriously, i kept switching back and forth with the camera to mess around with my sister...simply amazing.

2hours browsing

45minutes movie

28% battery remaining!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**** MY MOM!!!!
[Xoom General] powercrazy:
Dude, that sounds about right. If you are saying you used it for 10 hours continuously with the display on (which is easily the biggest drain) then you did well!
[Xoom General] kaze00:
Hate to be an ass, but having the display on for 4 hours only, clearly shows you haven't been using it for 15 hours straight.
[Xoom General] schnoz:
lol. This made my giggle.

Anyway, maybe he was refering to having apps running (ie, pandora, browser, etc) with the display off for the rest of the time. Granted, the display pulls the most battery usage, but the device can still be in "use" with the display off.
[Xoom General] kaze00:
Valid point.
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
What's the best way/time to charge?

How and when do you guys/gals usually charge your Xoom?

Plug it in every night to charge overnight

When it's almost dead (<10%)

Plug it in whenever possible

Other

Just wondering if any of these "techniques" will affect battery life in the long run!
[Xoom General] inspiron41:
overnight to charge usually. i havent been able to kill the batteries during normal usage.
[Xoom General] jvs60:
Had mine off the charger for over 48 hours. Just put it on the charger this morning with battery at 10%
[Xoom General] Stone 13:
I'm blown away by the battery life on my Xoom. I left my charger at home on my last trip and went 3 days without charging, with moderate use I still had 20% when I got back home.
[Xoom General] lanternca:
I personally charge every night, but I really don't have to. I use it at work, check emails, take notes during meetings, etc. Screen is prob on 4-5 hours a day. When I get home, more browsing, maybe some music. When I finally get to bed, I usually have >50% battery.

The batter is so good, I basically solved my one big gripe, which is power button. During a meeting when I know I'll take notes intermittently, I simply set the screen to never go off. It does kill the battery, but I have still never had a problem getting through a day.
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
The 2nd day I had the Xoom I stress tested the battery, used it almost the entire day, barely put it down. Got through 10hrs with 20% battery left, browsing on WiFi, some gaming, etc. Last night, I went to the American Airline Center to see the Stars, about 3 and 4 hours of hockey(went overtime then shootout) and only used about 20% battery in that place, which is usually a horrid battery sucker on 3G on my Droid.

[Captivate Android Development] donharden2002:
I like the look of it so far. Thanks for putting in the work.
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
ill be putting in a lot more too.
[Captivate Android Development] doctahjeph:
Oh thank god! I was getting tired of all the gingerclones. This is awesome! ASOP Froyo look is so much more prettier than ASOP Gingerbread. Can't wait to see your work. One request though. can you put in the email app without the exchange security? If not that is cool, but I hate having to put a pin in because my company says so.
[Captivate Android Development] phoenix2217:
Hooray! Looks awesome dude. Downloading now
[Captivate Android Development] capita:
Really digging the look of this one. May have to try it out.
[Captivate Android Development] davefeelsright:
Mortal Kombat*

But really, always glad someone can break the mold around here. As mentioned above, almost every one of these ROMs are blending right into each other. Don't get me wrong, the developers do a great job, but I'm getting sick of green haha
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
Yea there's a lot more I'm going to be doing. Ill see what I can do about that app though.
[Captivate Android Development] bunnsguy:
This does look great...haven't tried out a 'new' rom in quite a while
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
That is true about all the gingy clones.

I meant to do combat cause I changed the k to a c in cano for captivate purposes.
[Captivate Android Development] SiL3nTKiLL:
downloading now :) cant wait to try it!
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
Actually, the MK guy was "Kano".

"Cano" is a New York Yankee.
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
i know, i know :(

theres no way id use the yankees name. i pledged allegiance to another team.
[Captivate Android Development] jozymozy:
FYI- there's no "Cano" in Mortal Kombat. There's a "Kano," if that's what you mean. If you wanted to leave it spelled with a 'c,' you could always name it after the Yankees' second baseman :p
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
i had a feeling i was gonna get bashed on that one hahaha
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
As the OP you can change the thread title you know. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
v2 i will....got plans now where ill need to.....
[Captivate Android Development] mprinceiii:
been awaiting this release! gonna charge up my phone and give it a run when it's done, can't wait to see the progress on this, it looks great already!

also, i understand why it's Cano and Mortal Combat. CAPTIVATE >_> keep bringing updates man
[Captivate Android Development] doctahjeph:
speaking of v2......WHEN???? lol Keep up the good work dude. testing out v1 now. :-)
[Captivate Android Development] TheBassman369:
Wow. This looks pretty. Lol

Sent from my CM7 Inspire
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Steveo you should make a complete vanilla AOSP JVH build ROM. I know your busy and all but really loved this when it first came out but moved on to the craze of CM7 and MIUI's of the world : D haha.
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
Finish this first.
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
I'm going to try something. I think someone sent a xda moderator on me...

I'm probably going to scrap this thread and startover. Might start with a poll to see if there is still interest in froyo or go to gingerbread like you suggested..
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Well my vote would for sure be Gingerbread.

A gingerbread, plus vanilla AOSP= Success
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
I started a jvh build today. Based on the actual jvh from the Europe release. I'm going to mix a lot in it.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
THANK YOU!

Cannot wait!
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
I've got the kb1 rom done I just need to get it uploaded and the I might try to attempt a jvh or if there is a newer one (guess its jvo???) when I get to it.....
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
No sbl.bin in it is there? Want to keep my gb boot loaders.
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
Are you talking about the kb1 build?
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
You wont be able to flash it over gingerbread. You'd have to go back to jf6/ jh7 first.
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
I'll rephrase, does installing your kb1 build install new boot loaders? Some versions of DGs cog would and if you had gb boot loaders you'd brick.
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
Yes it does install a new bootloader. But if you have gingerbread on your phone right now you cannot flash this rom without bricking. You have to go back to stock eclair or froyo.
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
Thats what I was afraid of. I know DG removed sbl.bin from his latest updates due to people inadvertently flashing with GB bootloaders. Thats a deal breaker for me as I flash between froyo and GB frequently and don't want the hassle of reinstalling GB bootloaders all the time.

In addition I hope you put up a BIG ASS WARNING when you finally upload this so people don't toast their phones. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
A little confused are you talking about your JVH version of Kano, or the KB1 version of Kano?

Im currently on Darky 10.1 JVH, shouldnt I be able to flash Kano 5.0 (JVH) over that with a wipe of everything?

Btw PM if you want me test anything out for you, really intrigued by this, also if you want me to help testing in the PM just tell be the prerequisites and such in installing YOUR rom, im not a noob if I brick I can figure it out : D haha.

Cannot wait for this release, love the AOSP vanilla look/
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
No my gingerbread build is only at 20%. My froyo (kb1) is what I'm about to upload. It'll be a different rom name for gingerbread.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Oh alright well when your at a point where you want some testers please dont hesitate to PM me, would love to help this out.
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
Lemme double check that before i upload. I get what you're saying now.
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
^^^^^^^^bump^^^^^^
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
ask DG for this rom..................
[Captivate Android Development] norcal einstein:
What did you do? Copy his rom and relabel?
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
Relabeled a relabel you mean. How quick everyone on here forgets that linux is giving and taking, at the same time. Unless you can show me your google android department badge then you cannot say you created, from the ground up, something on here. Every dev on here alters what google, carriers, and manufacturers came up with.
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
Don't they call that kanging?
[Captivate Android Development] Ostate24:
So when can we expect this Rom? Think I want to give it a go!
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
Do you know how to read???
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
No kanging is taking only.
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
Bump.........
[Captivate Android Development] mprinceiii:
v2 honestly can't come soon enough, and neither can my phone charging lol. even with a swype fc, i may make this my daily. the look of it is just that good, hoping battery life does as well as i think
[Captivate Android Development] phoenix2217:
Downloaded, installed, amazing. Fast, stable, gps locks amazing. One issue... no live wallpaper? When going to the wallpaper menu, there's no option for it. Is this supposed to be or is it a mistake? Thanksagain. Awesome Rom.
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
Ill add the livewallpapers if you guys want....
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
updated...............
[Captivate Android Development] mprinceiii:
quick updates are the best. how long do you think you are away from figuring out the swype fc problem?
[Captivate Android Development] whitesox311:
thanks for this....id be all over it if gingerbread wasn't imminent.
[Captivate Android Development] Xstop:
Didn't know there was 29 days in Feb...lol
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
March Fool's......
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
The keyboards are next. I cant go without the android keyboard....
[Captivate Android Development] phoenix2217:
Well you don't have to add the live wallpaper if the majority dosent want them. I installed some but they don't show up. Is there an apk I need to install to getlive wallpaper to work? Cause ill just add it in if its that easy. Thanks for the quick update.

*Edit*

Actually, got it working :) Stole the livewallpaperpicker.apk and livewallpapers.apk from serendipity, used root explorer, rebooted and all seems well :)
[Captivate Android Development] rob989_69:
This is a great ROM, looks good, and fast, however there are two things I'd like to see, as mentioned I would like the Live Wallpapers. And the extended power options. Great work.
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
honestly i really dig the non gb theme but from your llist on the first thread there is too much work to be done for me to try this out.

(so im booking for later =) )
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
Ok. Ill see if I can do an update.zip for the livewallpapers for those that want it.
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
Probably going to do the extended power menu also.
[Captivate Android Development] phoenix2217:
awesome to hear dude. :) looking forward to it.
[Captivate Android Development] Rockliveson123:
Is there any way to get the multiple lock screens? I miss the epic unlock
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
Might make a update.zip for this one also....
[Captivate Android Development] Rockliveson123:
You're awesome! This rom is smooth! I love aosp theme. Jury is still out on battery life. Wish we could undervolt of something. Other than that I really like this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] mprinceiii:
so far my experience with battery has been just as good as it was when i was running Andromeda, which was my standard rom until this.

get Swype and the Phone dock button working and this will be a GREAT daily for people to use, i love this rom
[Captivate Android Development] goob1284:
How do you get the" seventy seven charging" bar on there?! I always wanted it, but could never find it! What is it called?!
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
Swype and dock are my main goals right now.
[Captivate Android Development] Rockliveson123:
It seems my email app wont let me sign into any of my email accounts. Could this be rom related?
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
BattStatt... its in the market
[Captivate Android Development] kletiz:
Thank you from a fellow St. Louisan! :) Gonna give this a try in a bit.
[Captivate Android Development] pparavas:
good rom

get the three main things to run, and this will be the best rom....

1) phone apk in launcher

2) android keyboard

3) Swype keyboard...

thanks once again..
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
Yep might be checking off two when I get home.....
[Captivate Android Development] doctahjeph:
I am running my corporate and Gmail through exchange with no issues.
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
HELLLLOOOOOOOO SWYPE!!!!

No problems on email app on my end......
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
your welcome, my fellow St Lousian.
[Captivate Android Development] pparavas:
sorry if am wrong in asking this question... can i flash uckb1 modem for a better battery life over this rom? because i tried it and my phone was behaving crazily... vibrating and restarting..
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
Your not wrong in asking that. Everyday people are doing modem swaps to try to get optimal battery life. But you may want to try a galaxy s modem instead if a captivate modem.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
Since this is running i9000 kernel you need an i9000 modem. Uckb1 is a captivate modem

Sent from my Liquid Metal
[Captivate Android Development] pparavas:
thanks for the info mate, i learnt something ..
[Captivate Android Development] Rockliveson123:
Are you going to make any upgrade (no wipe) versions for your updates. That would be awesome. I just got the rom working perfectly. Don't want to have to titanium restore and tweak again.
[Captivate Android Development] BlakeACullum:
The look of this rom is probably my favorite, so far super stable.
[Captivate Android Development] pparavas:
Any suggestions for battery?

The battery has been draining very badly, is going down at a rate of 10% or more per hr, it went down to 75% from 100% in 1hr and 45 mins, with very little or no usage. Currently installed JL3 modem, still no use... :(
[Captivate Android Development] phoenix2217:
Did you flash with a full battery? This could be the issue. Also, I believe JL3 is still a captivate modem. You should try JK4 or one of the other i9000 modems.
[Captivate Android Development] phoenix2217:
So happy to see this ROM progressing. Gonna download the new version tonight. :)
[Captivate Android Development] BlakeACullum:
Hoping for an update to this soon, love love love the look at speed of it.
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
With the way I have it if I don't use my phone at all ill be at 75 or 80 percent after like 12 hrs.
[Captivate Android Development] phoenix2217:
I agree. Battery life is pretty amazing. After a full day, which includes 3 hours + of music, Several phone calls, texts, market, browser, it was down to 35%. Can't really ask any better than that since I usually charge at night anyways.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Im intrested in the kernel that is offered in the changelog. The current version that Hardcore offers is k13c, so Im wondering how I can get my hands on k13h?
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
I believe that's a typo.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Thats quite a typo as the c and h aren't even close, its 3 keys over from each other. I'm saddened by this false advertisement... :(
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
Fixed my typo. Sorry all.
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
lol damn it i got all excited and everything
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
This would be even better if it was a standalone theme; I'm a bit stuck because my current setup has a lot of data that I can't afford to lose right now...
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
the one big problem im having with this rom is that my home button is working like a back button
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
Howd that happen?
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
i have no idea but its driving me crazy

i flashed stock

master cleared

flashed your rom

flashed speedmod c version

then enabled lagfix

and here i am with a non home, home button lol
[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
You could try editing your key layout. Believe it would be melfas-touchkey.kl but don't quote me on that; it's been a while.
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
Putting together a no-wipe version right now and then ill just be using update.zips.
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
any idea about what was causing the home button working as back glitch?

are you having this problem also or is it just me?
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
I haven't had the same issue. My home button takes me to the home screen. Has anyone else???
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
yeah maybe just a weird flash im thinking ill wait till u release and give it another go. (because i really dig the white notification bar lol)

planning on releasing one anytime soon?
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
Yes I'm going to try for tonight. I've got this rom pretty good now.
[Captivate Android Development] Rockliveson123:
Is the no wipe version out yet? Or is this just a preview changelog?
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
1 weird thing 2 is this roms missing a calculator

(Also running an outdated version of speedmod)
[Captivate Android Development] 88EVGAFTW:
can you zip that theme so others can use it? I mostly like the notification bar.
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
Updated speedmod and added calc.
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
awesomeness hopefully we can get that home haptic working and extended power menu :D:D:D
[Captivate Android Development] stacio88:
A,B,A,C,A,B,B, that's the Sega genesis code that enables blood in MK1. I can't believe I still remember that lol! I haven't flashed a new rom in a while, looking forward to trying this.
[Captivate Android Development] stacio88:
Just flashed this rom and so far its been great. Only thing that I would like to see are the option for reboot, recovery, and download. Other than that its smooth.
[Captivate Android Development] delutedsoul23:
I was just fixing to post that was the blood code on Genesis....man....the good days lol
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
Hey are you planning on releasing 3.3 tonight?
[Captivate Android Development] steveo314:
Going to try. Its either going to add the extended power menu or fix the home button haptic....
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
why not wait a little longer and fix both? :D:D lol

edit: if it has to be 1 or the other my votes home haptic
[Captivate Android Development] stacio88:
I think that the power menu should be fixed first. There's a walkthrough on how to enable Heptic feedback and its easy to do.

EDIT: Here's the link.....http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=938318
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
i wouldnt call that easy mr apple lol
[Captivate Android Development] stacio88:
lol! Yea, when i first saw i it i thought it would be hard, turned out it wasnt too bad. Give it a try though;)
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
just wanted to say i figured out what caused the home button working as back glitch.

the speedmod k13c version that i had was outdated, so idled the new one (slightly larger files size like .3 mb)

and seems to have fixed the problem
[Captivate Android Development] Rockliveson123:
I have an interesting problem. When I go into camera it will not let me.change the resolution higher than like 0.4 megapixels.

Edit: fixed it. It was my mistake
[Captivate Android Development] thekurrgan:
Nice

Dude, sweet! As has been said, every other rom's gone ginger colors.. I actually liked the original android look better.

JS5 base has been my daily driver, switching to this now.
[Captivate Android Development] thekurrgan:
It is POSSIBLE to use the cap kernel/modem on a JS5 ROM, however you'll need to modify the wifi modules in the rom in order to get wifi going. From tweaking a stock JS5 base, that was the only issue I ran in to. (Well, the signal bars cease to be accurate, since the cappy modem is reporting for 5 bars, and the framework only has 4.. you'll show full signal when its not..if you can call that an issue..)

I threw in the ones from KB1 and it functioned. However I only used it for a few days, missed the lower latency provided by the HSUPA modems...
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
I never said you COULDN'T run cap kernel/modem combo, I was merely stating that the cap modem would not work with the kernel that was included.
